To convert pounds (lbs) to kilograms (kg), you can use the following step-by-step instructions:
Step 1: Understand the conversion factor
1 lb is equal to approximately 0.45359237 kg. This is the conversion factor we will use to convert pounds to kilograms.
Step 2: Set up the conversion equation
To convert 25 lbs to kg, we can set up the equation as follows:
25 lbs * (0.45359237 kg/1 lb)
Step 3: Cancel out the units
In the equation, the unit “lbs” is present in both the numerator and denominator. This allows us to cancel out the unit and perform the calculation.
Step 4: Perform the calculation
Multiply the numerical value (25) by the conversion factor (0.45359237):
25 * 0.45359237 = 11.33980925
Step 5: Round the result (if necessary)
Since the conversion factor is an approximation, the result may have more decimal places than desired. In this case, we can round the result to a reasonable number of decimal places. Let’s round it to two decimal places:
11.34 kg
Therefore, 25 lbs is approximately equal to 11.34 kg.
